   * Run `mix deps.get` to install elixir dependencies.
 
-  * Run `mix generate_config`. This will ask you a few questions about your instance and generate a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`. Check that and copy it to either `config/dev.secret.exs` or `config/prod.secret.exs`. You can check if your instance is configured correctly by running it with `mix phx.serve` and checking the instance info endpoint at `/api/v1/instance`. If it shows your uri, name and email correctly, you are configured correctly. If it shows something like `localhost:4000`, your configuration is probably wrong, unless you are running a local development setup.

   On Debian you can use `certbot` package and command to manage letsencrypt certificates.
